We had the 8 'moments' menu. The special that week was dishes that included horseradish. We went for my fiances birthday and brought his mother, who doesn't speak English or Polish (she speaks Ukrainian and Russian). Their English was excellent. They did not speak Ukrainian or Russian (I did not expect them to and personally, I do not care if they did or didn't and the 4 stars does not reflect that). Most of my reviews on yelp include languages of the restaurants, so that is my reasoning for including it. Their website is in English, Polish and German -- so perhaps they speak German!! The food was incredible. Unfortunately, we do not care much for horseradish so that is why there are four stars. However, on all the dishes the horseradish was tastefully done. It was foamed or on the side -- not overpowering at all. The meals were all beautiful. Their timing for each dish was perfect. At the end of the meal, I was quite content and ready to go home. However, they figured out it was my fiances birthday and gave him a small birthday cake. It made his day!!! I loved this restaurant because of it takes traditional Polish cuisine and puts a modern twist on it. When I have family visiting me, I will bring them here. I would recommend this restaurant for SMALL family gatherings, birthdays and anniversaries. However, I would especially recommend this to business men/women to take their foreign clients. read more

My gavourites are their Appetizers, bread (the round sweet one), dessert! The presentation of each appetizer is incredibly fun, and each taste different and strong. The entire 6 moments dinner took 2.5h, with appetizers and dessert. The coffee-eggplant dessert was a delight! Doesn't take like veggie at all, amazing. Had a lovely time Total bill came up to 750zl for both of us 290 for 6 moments 66 for service 12 for coffee ? For wine ? For water read more

Atelier Amaro - Bread - Polish Near Me - Warsaw, MZ

If you go there you will take part in an unique culinary spectacle. The food is simply amazing and wine list very impressive. 8 moments of unusual Polish cuisine. I rated 3 stars only because of the atmosphere in this restaurant. You feel like you are in some kind of a church where nobody is really enjoying the food. Instead of laughter or discussions you can hear only shy whispers. For me the food is about people, laughing and heaving fun. Awkward atmosphere but good food. read more

Atelier Amaro - Lamb biscuits were amazing. - Polish Near Me - Warsaw, MZ

I've been to a few Michelin star restaurants in London and I was really curious how the only one in Poland will compare to that. The first impression wasn't amazing. The atmosphere seemed very formal and service was very stiff. We were sat in the middle with 4 waiters hanging over us that we were scared to say a word. We had quite an early booking, so the restaurant was almost empty, which didn't help. Being assisted to the toilet was another slightly odd element in my opinion, but luckily once the restaurant filled up and the drinks arrived, things got better. I took my sister to Amaro for her birthday dinner and we spent 3.5 hours having the best culinary experience of our live. We were welcomed with three Amouche Bouches: prune in gin foam, cauliflower carpachio on a wafer served on a birch log & black pudding (or prune in the vegetarian option) with chocolate in a fried onion wafer were all were divine. All dishes in Amaro are called 'moments' and this is exactly how long it last to consume each of them. But all of them the moments are special and deeply memorable. I could name of all the 8 dishes we've had (and 5 pre & post dishes), including mushroom cappuccino with oak oil & pumpkin cheese cake in a shape of a chocolate pear served on beetroot crisps. But it's pointless as the dishes changes so frequently, that if you'd fancy any of the ones we had, probably you wouldn't be able to get them. I can only say, it's worth every grosz. I can't even point out one best moment as all of them were of equal standard and perfect combination of unusual flavours and sometimes even less familiar ingredients. read more

Absolutely fabulous. We went for lunch and had all the six dishes on their menu. Portion size is terribly small but hey, we went there for Michelin experience (tastebuds re-education). Prices were great and not bankruptcy potential for me. I highly recommend you to go. read more

Had the 8 moments menu with wine pairing. We started with the spirits pairing, but switched to wine as the vodka felt too strong for us. We got 3 apetizers which was very creative and really good! The 8 moments was in summary very good. Creative, well plated and an explostion of different tastes - I can surely see why they got Polands first Michelin star! As a couple of dishes were over- and under seasoned I cant rate 5 stars, but they're close! Will definetly dine here next time I'm in Warsaw! read more

Was really pleased they were able to squeeze us in with 1 day notice. Unfortunately it was the last seating at 10pm, but it hey ho- the first Polish restaurant to receive a Michelin star, we took it. The service was great, the dishes were creative, visually dynamic and interesting, but unfortunately, the taste left us hoping for more. Of the 9 courses, I only really liked 1- the sturgeon. The rest just didn't really taste good. The flavor combinations weren't complimentary nor developed. Luckily, compared to the euro it wasn't too expensive. Would have preferred going to a traditional Polish restaurant for dinner. read more

e were in Warsaw in July for a few nights at the end of a 2 1/2 week vacation in Poland. Having experienced many incredible meals during the trip we wanted to end with a BANG with something truly gob-smacking. We were lucky enough to get a table after someone cancelled their reservation. The food had a consistent theme of fresh seasonal ingredients and edible flowers, which was quite special. In addition we chose the menu with spirit pairings for each dish. Thank goodness we cabbed it! The meal began with three amuse bouche each one bold and beautiful. Of particular note was a potato "chip" so thin it seemed to split the atom. Served with fermented garlic paste and potato vodka gel. An amazing act of food chemistry, this "chip" was like nothing we've ever had before. It was exquisite! The next two were just as fascinating: Salted cucumber with watercress and flowers. Nasturtium flowers with marinated cherry, in chocolate "dirt" - the best part about the chocolate is that it was just barely sweetened, letting the cacao really come through. Before the first course arrived they brought a fascinating selection of breads: the black one is made using hay ash, which you could taste distinctly in a surprisingly pleasant way; caraway seed croissant; sour dough, and white bread. Pretty impressive was the hot pebbles at the bottom of the burlap bag, which kept our bread warm for quite some time! We'll highlight some of our favourite dishes from the tasting: The first course gave us another insight into how amazing this dinner was going to be. It was a buttery piece of foie gras served with tomato, verbena flower all in an extraordinarily delicate flavourful apple and rosemary consomme. This came with liqueur made from miniature plum brought from Kazakhstan, unadulterated before fermentation. Next came a dish that can only be described as sashimi/not-sashimi. It was trout marinated in salt and sugar and cooked at 36 degrees for 20min. The texture of the trout is hard to describe. While it looked raw - like sashimi - the texture leaned away from an uncooked fish. Add to that the penetration of the marinade flavours and you had a truly special dish. The trout was paired with a green pea flower, green pea leaves and puree as well as a sorbet of elderflower and beet root to complement. The dish was served with Golden Rose Liquor, made of macerated golden roses in alcohol. We were both surprised how delicious zucchini and zucchini flower could be! The tart frozen raspberry caviar was a splendid flavour and texture, smoothed out nicely by goat cheese with some rosemary to add a savoury flavour. Truly marvelous and eye-opening. This was served with our favourite liqueur of the evening, Staripolska. It has strong notes of plum, honey, hazelnut and spices. We loved it so much we hunted down a few bottles and took them back home with us. Here's a revelation we'll never forget: freeze dried strawberries (with intense flavour and crunchy) covered in mustard powder. That right there is what makes a great chef and humbles us every time. Oh yeah, and there was also a delicious perfectly spiced piece of venison on the plate as well, laying on top of buckwheat in caramelized buttermilk. Did you know you can caramelize buttermilk? We didn't! Finished with delicious freshly foraged chanterelle mushrooms and a sunflower seed purée - this dish displaced the zucchini dish as the highlight of the meal. It was served with Krzeska herbal vodka, but to be truthful this was one course that was so good we hardly paid heed to the spirit. And now on to what was, and remains, the most daring and unusual dessert we've ever encountered. In fact, the chef described it as "controversial", inspiring either love or hate upon first taste. It's one of those dishes that you really have to taste - it's almost impossible to describe the flavour experiment that's going on. We did love this dish, but even as we ate it we really had to ponder and process what was happening on our taste buds. How can we like something that's confusing us this much? It's important to mention that one of us normally HATES eggplant and yet, here was an eggplant dessert that was pleasant. The eggplant was served in the bitter-sweet cacao powder, sitting amongst plain yoghurt, with freeze dried wild strawberries and marjoram. We had to applaud the chef - inventive? yes! bold? yes! ballsy? absolutely! This will be one dish we'll likely remember for the rest of our lives. To end this review, we'd like to point out this is the most reasonably priced Michelin Star rated restaurant we've ever eaten at! read more

Wow. Just wow. No experience is perfect, but this one was pretty wonderful. Something like 4.75 stars. First off, the location is just gorgeous - nestled among the green leafy park, the interior is also cozy and intimate. Perfect for a conversation with two or with eight. A beautiful setting. The service was also incredible. FOH is very attentive and thoughtful without being overbearing. Rather than having a server, you have a serving team of 5-6 lovely, cautious, and well-trained individuals. The team observes a careful orchestration, and there were a couple of missteps - removing a wine glass before it was exhausted (and the favorite wine of the evening, a lovely orange wine, nonetheless) and then failing to bring the check in a timely manner. Despite these minor errors, the service was truly amazing. The highlight of the team was the sommelier - incredibly knowledgeable, highly enthusiastic, and not a single wine pairing failed the evening. He topped it off by recommending a flight of three Polish liquors that were the perfect cap to the evening. I won't even try to review the entire tasting menu. It was incredible. We selected the 9 course tasting menu with wine pairings, but with 4 different amuse bouche, a palate cleansing, and a petit four course, it was more like 15. And it was something to experience. Not every course was mind-blowing, but none were bad - and some were truly incredible. The amuse bouche were interesting, intricate, and delicious. The chanterelle, the turbot, the lamb - all unbelievable. Given our experiences, I was incredibly glad we chose the 9 over the 6 courses and would absolutely recommend it to anyone. If you go to Warsaw, you absolutely must eat at this restaurant. And if you love food, you absolutely must go to Warsaw. read more

Dinner here was a spectacular experience. First off, the greeting and atmosphere was unpretentious and warm considering its Michelin star status. The food was both imaginative and ridiculously delicious starting from the bread and ending with the chocolate gems. They were very accommodating to a member of our party who disliked fish and conjured up alternatives that rivaled the original fish option in taste and execution. We opted for the spirit pairing (most on Yelp have been calling it "vodka" but it is not) and were not disappointed as it heightened the experience. The fruit infused spirits complemented each course divinely. The waiter did a great job of educating us on each individual spirit. We enjoyed all but one (the actual vodka looking one.) We were so impressed with the dinner and especially the desert (the halva was phenomenal!!) that we kept musing about why this establishment had only 1 star. Well, at the end of the night, as we were pretty friendly with the staff on account of some inebriation, we learned from them that the Michelin inspectors were dining 2 tables away from us. Not sure if this was really true or not, but I really hope they get another star. This is a must do when in Warsaw! read more

Dined here in February with a group of friends. I really appreciated the fact that the chef prepared special food according to my dietary requirements. The food was superb with excellent presentation and the staff were very professional and spoke good English. Their attention for detail was impressive. We also took the vodka pairing option but nobody in the group managed to drink all of them because they were too strong. Overall a great experience which I recommend to my friends when they visit Warsaw. read more

Atelier Amaro - Polish Near Me - Warsaw, MZ

Great food experience - way above a regular meal! Great variety in the dishes - some better than others, but they get a lot of points for the execution and the thoughts behind. The room is nothing special, small and with decent acoustics I'm not quite sure I understand how they could get their Michelin star based on one toilet (one unisex for the entire restaurant) running out of paper towels and with varying degree of mess (eg water all around the sink all night). But, this is MY rating, and I had a great evening and my inner foodie was happy at the end, so they get 5 stars! read more

Great service problems with food. This was my second visit after over a year. Food was creative and almost as good as the first time. But not as good. Wine pairings and vodka pairings were outstanding. (It was her first "solo" pairing). Unfortunately, out of seven of us three of us got violently ill the following morning (I will spare you the ugly details. Let's just say that each served dish was called by the restaurant a "moment". Our joke was that we continued having moments over and over during the following day.) An especially disappointing thing was that the following day I got an email asking me for review. I mentioned what happened and agreed to be contacted by the restaurant. I never heard from them. read more

It took me a while to finally write review about one of my best dining experiences so far. We visited Atelier last year in September but we made a reservation couple months before. I am in awe with Chef Amaro contribution to Polish Cuisine by giving an outstanding taste of true native ingredients. We were nicely welcomed by restaurant staff and seated immediately. The restaurant has nice and quite romantic ambience. We deiced to go with 5 moment accompanied by sommelier`s choice of polish vodkas and liqueurs. We were not sure if we should get bottle of wine or that vodka flight but now I can highly recommend the flight option. Combination of food and choice of alcohol was a symphony to our taste buds! I cant` say which moment was the best one but my favorite one was definitely piglet with corn and mustard seeds. I know that Atelier moments changes seasonally so mentioned position might not be available anymore. Presentations of plates were amazing and fusion of flavors was married perfectly on each plate. Our server was very knowlegeable about origin of each vodka and liqueur we were given and told us interesting stories about it and also how and where Chef Amaro get his best ingredients from all around the country. It was really amusing. I highly recommend Atelier for it`s unforgettable food journey it has to offer and I wish Chef Amaro Michelin recognition for years to come! read more

What can I say? Top notch. Simple as that. I celebrated a two-year anniversary here and received world-class treatment and congratulations from the staff and they made it a more special occasion since they remembered that it was our anniversary, very impressive and wonderful. It was such an experience due to the fancy and exciting food every time the waiters came by with a plate. I never knew what it'd be like as all the meals were prepared in such a unique way and I couldn't wait to see what kind of magic trick the next meal would have. Truly a magical experience. Naturally the food needs to be tasty and high-quality as well, and it was. Tasted delicious and with its unique decoration and style it made it delivered an experience that I have never had Before in any restaurants and I hope to come back here again in the future. If you want the finest experience in Warsaw, look no further, it's right at Atelier Amaro. read more

This is not just a meal, it is an experience. Not only the food but the way it is presented is very inventive. The place is small which is why it came as a surprise that we were able to get a table with only one weeks notice. For Polish standards the price is very high, but for a western European the price is very reasonable for a michelin meal. read more

Beautiful presentation and wonderful service. The food however, just wasn't quite there yet. Everything was pretty well executed, but the flavors just didn't work that well together unfortunately. And the quality of the dishes left a bit to be desired. It was however a great value for service and probably one of the least expensive Michelin places we've dined. read more

My recent visit to Atelier Amaro was even more fascinating than the previous one of last year. I continue to be greatly impressed with the unexpected complexity of the dishes, the fantastic spirits and liquors, and the service, but this time I was overwhelmed by the "unity in diversity" of the menu titled by the Chef Wojciech Modest Amaro as "Calendar of Nature / 15th Week". If you are wondering what was included, I have retained some stunning moments in my mind. Amaro do not call dishes just dishes but poetically names them "moments". This makes a lot of sense since, when dining at Atelier Amaro, I definitely experience a deeply affecting awareness of "momentary" pleasure and bliss, yielding a feeling of participation in something astonishing and unique. Let me share just one, first "moment" that appeared in front of me on the pure white tablecloth: An irregularly shaped plate in delicate greyish tones, partially covered by real moss with a little "tube" placed on it. The tube, or roll, was made out of candied brown, yellow, and white onion peels (amazingly thin and crispy) stuffed with sliced mushrooms (morels and foxy red milkcaps) with one translucent drop of pine/dandelion honey on top. Imagine the diverse unity of those wild flavors in this beautiful opening! The "moment" was paired with a glass of El Abanico (La Jasse Castel, Languedoc-Roussillon) - an organic white French wine - simply perfect. I leave you with this description only to make you eager to experience the remaining seven moments at the spectacular Atelier Amaro. read more

We ate there in November. Both of us had the smaller menu which was quite enough food. The dishes were imaginative and prettily presented. There was foam, little pieces of things. Venison was the star course. The staff was helpful and friendly and the place was chic. We were invited downstairs to meet the chef afterwards in his laboratory-like Gaggenau kitchen. He gave us his Polish farm-to-table rap which seemed honest, not cliched. All in all, it was our favorite restaurant in Poland. read more

Just go. An incredible meal and experience, and compared to the equivalent in the US and many European cities, a bargain. Definitely get the polish spirits tasting. The food was such great expression of seasonal and local ingredients, full of amazing unexpected flavor, and served with perfect kind service. read more
